About Tauranga Samba

Who are we?

Tauranga Samba has been operating since Sept 2007, and since then we have built up an enthusiastic core of members who regularly play gigs at major events throughout the north island.

The aim of the group is to provide regular free percussion workshops for anyone who cares to attend, regardless of their musical knowledge or experience.

New members are always welcome and we will teach you everything you need to know! Looking for something new and challenging in your life?..we could be it! Come along one Saturday and try it out.
